Question

Factor the Following Expression using the greatest common monomial factor. (x^p+2)(y^p+2) + (x^p+2)(y^p-1) + (x^p+1)(y^p+1) + (x^p+1)(y^p-1)

Answer 1

As written, there is no common monomial factor. We assume you intend to factor ...

`x^(p+2)y^(p+2)+x^(p+2)y^(p-1)+x^(p+1)y^(p+1)+x^(p+1)y^(p-1)\\\\=(x^(p+1)y^(p-1))(xy^(3)+x+y^(2)+1)`
